Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) - First Poster and Thoughts

So today the first teaser poster for Age of Ultron surfaced the net and I thought I would put an article up with my thoughts on what's teased in and alongside the release of this poster as well as my thoughts on this.
The initial filming pictures of 'Ultron' (I'm skeptical whether it really was him now) looked pretty awful and I was disappointed with the head, but now...he looks awesome. He looks realistic, awesome, evil and a brilliant threat that the Avengers will have to combat. I'm still unsure about some of the rumours with the story, but its all looking good so far. I'm also wondering where Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch and HYDRA come into all of this after the events of Winter Soldier, but we'll see.
Iron Man's new suit looks pretty awesome and so does Captain America's. I wish I was much younger so I was allowed to get the toys. Oh well, they look great and I'm glad we'll never have to see Cap's Avengers Assemble costume again, mainly because that was pretty rubbish.
I would have loved to have seen the twins and Hulk on the cover, but I'll wait until SDCC gets some more content before I lose hope.
Avengers: Age of Ultron is released on April 24th 2015 in the UK.

Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015) - Movie Review

Image
The Mission: Impossible franchise has experienced a mixed reception across its four prior installments, with the most popular being 2011's Ghost Protocol. I'm not entirely with the series, only that its pretty much Tom Cruise and co pulling off dangerous missions with some cool action and a catchy theme music, although I did end up watching Ghost Protocol one random night. Despite this, I have very little recollection of the actual film, and it obviously didn't leave much of an impression on me. Suffice it to say though that Rogue Nation is the first Mission: Impossible film I saw the trailer for, liked the look of and went to the cinema to see it, and my expectations were pretty reasonable - cool action, good stunts and an entertaining watch. I guess I got what I expected. The story follows the disassembling of the IMF, while Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is pursuing The Syndicate - a rogue nation that causes havoc across the world. Hunt teams up once again with Benjamin Dun

Doctor Who: The Power of the Doctor (2022) - Review

Image
And with that, the Thirteenth Doctor's era has come to a close. It's easy for regeneration stories to be overshadowed by the programme's future - understandable given the show's constant change and renewal - but suffice it to say that The Power of the Doctor makes for a fitting conclusion to this era of the programme. Kicking things off with a heist on a space train, we're reintroduced to the Cybermasters, returning from The Timeless Children back in Series 12. It's good to see them return, even if their ultimate roles in the narrative serve mainly as cannon fodder more than anything else. Their Cyber-converted planet, which I'd speculated to Gallifrey, was a nice idea even if it served as a backdrop to the events unfolding rather than playing a significant role. Quite why Ashad and his Cyber Warriors were brought back, other than fan popularity, I'm not sure. An off-hand comment about the Master cloning Ashad doesn't quite resolve the character'

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Season 6, Episode 1 Review

Image
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns for its sixth season after what seemed to be it's definitive ending last year. Whilst I felt that Season Five was a rather small-scale season to go out on - more because of the low production values than the story - and that a definitive, planned-out ending would be better than running the show into the ground, I was encouraged by the news that a sixth season would only consist of thirteen episodes, and be set after Coulson 's death in the Season Five finale. About a year later, Season Six has arrived in the UK, set to be followed by a thirteen episode seventh season next year. ' Missing Pieces ' is very much a slow-build episode, pulling together a few strings and setting multiple ongoing storylines in motion, making it a rather uneventful self-contained episode but no doubt an integral part of Season Six. I felt very much underwhelmed by this opener, but that's mainly because of how little it can really achieve in f
